eBulletin—Setting the Stage!
What do the Pancake Man, Super Bugs, and the Landfill Harmonic have in common? They all are inspiration for faculty and staff planning, setting the stage for our primary student visits to the Discovery Center throughout Spring 2014! You, too, can visit our Discovery Center, via our School Home Page and Discovery Center Classroom Blog - Student Wikispace Pages, to virtually experience alongside these budding engineers. We will update the eBulletin periodically about their postings …
First & Pre-First Grades "Super Bugs" ... To the Rescue! The Lesson
Up and At 'Em, Atom Ant!
Super Bugs - Honey Bees to the Rescue!
Mr. May's Super Honey Bee ... Amazzzzzzzing!
Super Bug - Honey Bee Example - Art Form.PNG
I am an amazzzzzing Super Bug! As a Honey Bee, I look like a flying, striped, fuzzy teddy bear. My habitat is fields of flowers, the air I fly about, and a hive. I eat nectar and pollen from flowers, and I am afraid of the pesticides humans use. I weigh about 1/300 of an ounce and am about 1/2 inch long. I move around by flying and crawling. My special adaptation is my sense of smell; I can spot a particular flower amongst hundreds; it is like spotting a grain of sand in a swimming pool! I defend myself with my sting. I hide from predators by flying off to my hive; but I cannot hide from insecticides! I help humans in many ways. Besides my delicious honey, I am now being used to detect explosive materials and illegal drugs. I truly am amazzzzzzing!
